HAPPY NEW YEAR -
This edition of our weekly Aggie Update eNewsletter contains information on the significance of Dallas A&M Club membership, as well as upcoming club activities and events - including our monthly AGGIE ROUNDTABLE, featuring Jim Whiddon '82 as guest speaker, the next FRIDAY LUNCHEON, and a special opportunity on Saturday to support TEXAS A&M ICE HOCKEY versus t.u. prior to the Allen Americans game against the Wichita Thunder. Scroll down for details.
Membership-related gifts are the foundation of our annual fundraising efforts and allow the Dallas A&M Club to award considerable scholarships each year to multiple deserving Dallas-area high school seniors that will be attending Texas A&M, to also occasionally contribute to important endeavors at Texas A&M, and to maintain club-related programs in Dallas County for former students of Texas A&M.
Dallas A&M Club membership applications may be submitted via the MEMBERSHIP page on the DAMC website. Lifetime and active, dues-paying members (or donors) for 2016 are currently listed on the SPONSORS & DONORS page. Please note that annual memberships are valid January 1 through December 31.

Founded in 1902, the Dallas A&M Club has awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships to Dallas-area students attending Texas A&M - with 29 Aggies benefiting from our primary scholarships this fall. As the primary chartered A&M Club for Dallas County, the DAMC has also generously given back to The Association of Former Students by contributing to the following programs: Building Enhancement Campaign, Endowed Aggie Ring Scholarship (3), Endowed Diamond Century Club, Endowed Scholarship Fund, Annual Fund, and the Corregidor Muster Memorial Fund.
In addition to giving to The Association of Former Students, the Dallas A&M Club has funded President's Endowed Scholarship (3), Regents' Scholarship, Southerland Aggie Leadership Scholarship, Endowed Sul Ross Scholarship (2), and Endowed Senior Boots Scholarship (2) - while donating additionally on occasion to other significant endeavors of the Texas A&M Foundation and the 12th Man Foundation.
